Studying the Next Interstellar Interloper with Webb
Release date: Wednesday, February 16, 2022 10:00:00 AM EST
Scientists will learn about objects trespassing on our cosmic turf
So far, only two interstellar objects have been spotted buzzing through our solar system, but scientists think many more are lurking. When the next one is discovered, NASA's powerful new James Webb Space Telescope may have a ringside seat for analyzing this interloper. Webb will help astronomers learn about its composition, formation history, and home system. For the first time, scientists will get an up-close-and-personal view of something born outside our solar system.
